Monitoring of solid phase peptide synthesis by FT-IR spectroscopy
Abstract:
Aggregation phenomena of growing peptides on the resin have seldom been investigated. We report here how conformations are determined by FT-IR spectroscopy. Therefore the sequence 80-99 of HIV 1-protease was synthesized. After every coupling a resin sample was taken out of the reaction column and a FT-IR spectrum recorded. The results were compared with the UV monitoring obtained from another synthesis of the same peptide.
